Hell, I do that all the time by simply reversing the pitch on my prop.

In fact, I was the first person to park twin engine planes on the ground by
going in reverse. I'd give the right engine throttle and step on the right
brake. The left side would go backwards a few feet. Then I'd give the left
engine throttle and step on the left brake. I'd keep doing this. I could
walk the plane into tight spots backwards. No reverse pitch needed or
possible for those planes.

As you can see, I am a hunk and I'm in Mensa. I'm also a famous and highly
skilled pilot. So ladies, come fly with me!

I was flying a group of fishermen into a remote part of Alaska. The
approach was through a mountain pass and then setting down on a hidden
lake.
I hit a pretty stiff headwind shortly after entering the pass and within
20
minutes I knew I was in trouble. The wind was hitting me head-on so
strong
that I was going nowhere. Well, I opened the window on the pilot's side,
throttled down, stuck my head out the window so I could see behind me, and
I
backed out all the way back through the pass.

Wonder wehy they were unruly.

"I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.

And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires."

"Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is
finally and permanently discredited and abandoned; until there is no longer
any first-class and second-class citizens of any nation; until the color of
a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; until
the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all, without regard to
race -- until that day, the dreams of lasting peace and world citizenship
and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion,
to be pursued but never attained."

"First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up, because I
wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't
speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that
time there was no one left to speak up for me."

people from all races, creeds and colours shall put their faith in deeds,
not words, and make the land green again. They shall be known as Warriors
